After losing at home against Wilton on Friday, the Greenwich High School girls basketball team got back on the winning track, posting a well-earned 61-48 road victory against FCIAC foe Fairfield Ludlowe.

With UConn woman's basketball coach Geno Auriemma in attendance, junior center Abbie Wolf scored 23 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to pace the Cardinals (3-2). Wolf is being recruited by numerous schools. Last week against Stamford, Shea Ralph, one of Auriemma's assistant coaches, was on hand to take a look at Wolf. Senior forward Jamie Kockenmeister scored 13 points for GHS, which led 27-19 at halftime.

"Jamie played a strong game and helped us push the tempo," Greenwich coach Chrys Hernandez said. "It was kind of an ugly game. Right now, we're still trying to find our identity."

"We played pretty well defensively, making 13 steals," Hernandez said. "This was an important win for us, we didn't want to start the season 2-3."

BOYS SWIMMING

Winning seven of 12 events, Greenwich High School improved to 2-0 on the season with a 109-71 win against visiting Norwalk.

Senior Edward Moss won two individual events for the Cardinals, placing first in the 50-yard freestyle (21.33) and 100 freestyle (52.15). Justin Sodokoff gave the Cardinals a first-place finish on the one-meter diving board (score of 242) and Ryan Lynch placed first in the 100 breaststroke (1:08.77) for Greenwich.
